Abstract: 4446. Parrott, J. S. P. Feb. 27. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to change-speed gearing of the class in which the driven member carries planet-wheels meshing with an internallytoothed ring on the driving-member, and with a sun-wheel which may be clutched to the driving- member or stationed by a brake. A motor-cycle hub &c. b<1>, Fig. 5, carries planet-wheels e<2 >meshing with a ring b<7> secured to the spokes b<2> of a driving- pulley &c. b. A disk b<3> connects the pulley b to a sleeve b<4>, which passes through the hub b<1> and rotates freely on a fixed axle c. A second sleeve d is secured to a sun-wheel d<2> at one end, and to a disk d<3> at the other. The periphery of the disk d<3> is formed externally as a drum d<4> to be engaged by a brake d<6>, and internally as a clutch member d<7> to be engaged by a cone-clutch b9 slidably fixed to the sleeve b<4>. The clutch b<9>, which is normally held disengaged by a spring b<10>, is thrust inwards, to bring about a solid drive, when a disk f is turned about the axle c. Inclined surfaces f on the boss of the disk f coact with like surfaces on a nut. f<4>. For the low speed, the brake d<6> is applied. The disk f may operate through toggles to expand friction segments instead of directly on the clutch b<9>. The brake d<6> and disk f are operated by one lever g, Fig. 2. The lever g, which may be moved by hand over a quadrant g<x>, is connected by thrust springs g<4> to a link g<2> having two slots g<1>, g<5>.

Granted: 1910-05-25
Abstract: 12,372. Imray, O., [Pittman, J. L, and Carr, J. B.]. May 25. Railway locomotives, compressed-air.-Comprises a selfdriving compressed-air locomotive. The driving - gear is of the usual locomotive type, the cylinders 21 being supplied with air from a reservoir 1, charged through a valve 25. Pumps 11 are driven by eccentrics 16 from the driving- axle and supply air through reservoirs 4, 5 to the reservoir 1. To facilitate starting the locomotive, the connexion between the reservoirs 4, 5 may be closed and the reservoir 4 opened to the atmosphere, so that the pumps at first do no work. When the air pressure becomes too low to work the engine, sufficient air is compressed by hand or electric pumps to propel the engine to a charging- station. Each hand-pump, as shown in Fig. 3, comprises two cylinders with a common pistonrod. The lower cylinder 29 supplies air to the reservoirs 1, 4 through pipes 43, 42 respectively. The upper cylinder 28 supplies air to the trainpipe 41, or to the reservoir 4 through a pipe 38, but can be put out of action by opening a valve 38<a> to the atmosphere. Storage batteries 49 are carried on the tender and are charged by a dynamo 52 driven by an air motor 57. When the main air supply is exhausted, batteries supply current to a motor which drives an airpump for supplying air to the reservoirs.
